j A KOTEWORTI1Y SPEECH.
That was a noteworthy speech de
livered by Senator Beck from his seat
in thoHjpper house of Congress lues
day on the issue of coin certificates.
Owing to the disarrangement of tho
wires wb received but a reference to
it Tuesday night. In the course of
it tho distinguished Kentuckian sat
down upon John Sherman quite
heavily.' but not more so than the
nototiops Ohioan deserved. The Re
publican leaders, indeed, all seem to be
in bad plight just now, being sub
jected to merited castigation every
day. Xhey are the victims of the
logic of facts, of their party s bad
policy and their own utterly unpatri
otic and South-hating dispositions,
not to I mention the vigilance, the
power ii debate and the eloquence of
Democratic Congressmen.
Mr. Beck observed that silver had
its friends among the people at large,
bat that it had never had an enemy
who had done it bo much harm as
the Senator from Ohio (Sherman)
He said that Senator was one of the
vary ablest men in public life, and
that it was because of his great abil
ity that he (Beck) regarded his policy
as dangerous to the great masses of
the people. He rightly thought the
policy of the Senator was "death to
tl best interests of the peopled"
Referring to the efforts of the na
tional banks to prevent the coinage
of silver, he spoke of those banks,
not without reason, as a failure, as
no longer of any account, as going
down every day. As to Mr. Edwa d
Atkinson's report on the silver ques
tion, h9 said that that gentleman had
not even pretended to notice the fact
that a great Parliamentary commis
sion under Lord Iddesleigh had in
vestigated the subject and had report
ed to the Queen that the business de
dression everywhere prevailing had
grown out of the great conspiracy of
1873 against silver between England,
Germany and the United States, and
that i he restoration of silver to its le
gal tender quality was all that was
wanted.
He read a le ter to himself from
EdwardB Pierpont calling his atten
tion to the efforts of the national
banks in their contention in Pittsburg
last November to suspend indefinitely
the coinage of silver, and stating that
such indefinite suspension was just
what the English wanted. Return
ing then to the report of Edward At
kinson he spoke of him as doubtless
an able, respectable man but a doc
trinaire, and not the sort of man whom
he (Beck) would send anywhere to
take care of silver any more than he
would send out a wolf to take eare of
liinbs in the blue grass region of
Kentucky.
Altogether his remarks were very
striking, as is everything that
cdmes from the lips of the able, ear
nest, well-furnished, thoroughly post
ed representative of the State of fine
hones and handsome women. They
were founded in sound sense and
heqce we ha7e been unwilling for
them to fail of being given due prom
inence, at least as regards their point
and pith, as promptly as possihle in
our columns.
k If they shall serve to direct atten
tion afresh to the conspiracy pt the
gold bugs againtt silver, which the
interests, of the country demand
shall be the equal and associatoof
gold, they will by no m ans have been
made in vain, putting out of sight the
dsserved scoring. of : the venomous

veying. Harrow W-scape from Drowning.

Mr, A. B. Newman, a magistrate in
Leasburg township, in this county,
narrowly escaped being drowned in
South County Line creek on the 11th
inst. The creek was quite swollen
with Sunday's rain. Mr. Newman
drove near the bank to see if there
was a chance to ford. Finding the
creek higher than he supposed, he
tried to turn his horse, which was
harnessed to a road cart. The horse
became unmanageable, plunged into
the stream, and instead of crossing,
went down with the current. Mr.
Newman, finding no chance to escape
by remaining in the cart, caught a

ried down stream and were found

The' Constitution of 1868 required
the proceeds of the sales of swamp
lands and the receipts from fines, for
feitures, penalties and certain other
funds to be invested an an irreducible
fund, the interest of which alone was
to be used for school purposes.
Tho -Constitution as amended in
75 while still requiring receipts
from the Bime sources to be ustu
for school Durnoses, cave to the Gen
eral Assembly the power to distri
bute all school funds to the counties
for immediate use. In 1876 the-Gon-
frnl AnKfirnhlv enacted that the irro-
ducible fundjshould be retained dui
that it should not be increased except
by the items mentioned in Art 9,
Sec. 4 Of the Constitution from which
nothing was received except from the "
sale-i of public lands, ana Dut lime
from that source.
In 1881 the General Assembly di
rected thatthis fund should bo distrib
uted to the counties, and consequent
ly in Aufrust 1S81 a distribution of
$114,883.25 was made, and in Novem
ber 1883. another ot i,.'o waa
made.' These amounts were used by
the county school authorities during
the years 1882,. 1883 and 1884 and
swelled the amoun's applied during
those i years to school purposes, .as
will appear by the figures giveq
above.
The question is frequently asked
why the counties now get no money
from the State fund. The answer is
that the legislation now on our stat
ute books does not contemplate put
ting any money into the State Treas
ury for schools, except such as comes
from tax on acts of incorporation by
the General Assembly and from the
sales of public lands. Receipts from
these sources have as yet amounted
to but very little.. Our statutes leave
all other school funds in the counties
where collected to the end that they
may be used as rapidly as possible.
It has not been thought wise or
proper for this poor genera ion to
attempt 'o accumulate a permanent
school fund.
During the yean, 1871 and 1872
there was a tax of 6f cents on the
$100 Of property; after 1872 and until
1881 the tax on property was 8i cents
on $100 property, and after 1881 it
was 12J cents, at which figure it now
stands.
In iddiiioa to this general property
tax the Consti ution applies at leam
three four lbs of all poll tax, both
State and county, to school purposes,
which; amounts to an average of about
ce dollar and fifty cents (when the
limit i of $2 is reached the exac
amount is $1.59$) on each poll that is
collected.
The" statutes apply now, and have
for years, the fines, forfeitures and
penalties imposed by the ' Superior
Courts and by the justices of the
peace, most of the receip s from li
quor licenses (all except from he
wholesale licenses), receipt s from
auctioneers, estrays, articles of incor
poration issued by county Superior
Court: clerks, and tax on dogs.
From these sources our school
funds so far as they are levied by the
General Assembly, are derived, and
the funds are not put into the hands
of the State Treasurer, but all are re
tained in the counties where they are
raised,.
In counties where the State taxes
levied in the revenue Taw and in tho
school law, and the county taxes
levied by the commissioners, includ
ing school taxes, do not amount to
more than 66 cents on $100 of prop
erty, and $2 on polls, the commis
sioners are required to levy enough
tax, in addition to the funds secured
under, the general State levies as
above! men ioned, to continue the
schools four months per annum.
In inost counties, however, after
providing for county expenses, the
commissioners find no margin left for
application to schools. Prior to the
Supreme Court decision in Barksdale
vs. Commissioners of Sampson
County, 93 N. C. Repoits, the com
misBidners were required to have four
months' terms whe her or not they ex
ceeded 66 2-3 cents tax J on property
and $2 On polls. It will be noticed
that the receipts for 1887 were $23,
263 98 less than they were in 1886,
while the laws were just the same.
The fall-off in receipts is to be at
tributed to the decision referred to
and to the failure, I think, of an un
usually large number of persons to
pay their poll taxes.
Some commissioners aro cow so
managing county matters as to apply
all the poll tax to schools, while oth
ers find that for ordinary purposes
they do not need the full margin of
34 1 6 cents now left them by the
General Assembly, and so they levy
something for schools as section 2590
of the school law requires them to do.
The County Boards of Education
press iheir claims upon the Boards of
Commissioners and not unfrequeuly
the commissioners are brought to
greater economy in their administra
tion of county matters to the end
that the schools may be brought up to
the fotirmocthB that the Constitution
requires as a minimum. I cannot too
much commend such consideration
on the part of the County Commis
sioners, and can but cherish the hope
that, to the end that our school sys
tem may be more effective and more
popular, all the commissioners will
do ever thing in their power to in
crease; the funds. Let them do this
and go to the limitation. The money
thus raised and applied, and indeed
all school money under our system,

A careful examination of the State

1 be the man. His fitness, availability
and popularity has not been ques

he would accept the nomination has,

persons without anything like unity
for any particular one. : It is now cer
tain that Jarvis will accept the nomi
nation and his friends will begin

that they want him to be Governor.
